COLONIE — A crash at the Twin Bridges shut down the right shoulder of the Northway's northbound lane for a time Saturday night, police said.

The crash occurred at about 6:15 p.m. and caused traffic backups to Exit 7, police said. The shoulder was cleared and reopened just after 7 p.m.

No further details were available, police said.

There were already delays approaching the bridges in both directions due to ongoing repairs of the Twin Bridges, which required closure of the southbound lanes and re-directing two-way traffic to the northbound lanes.
